[TowerTalk] Tri-Ex LM-470 Base Installed

[Gene S.]

Thanks to everyone on this reflector for your thought provoking comments on 
all aspects of planting a tower.

On Friday we set the base for a Tri-Ex LM-470. Since a picture is worth a 
1000 words,  I took a few digital photos and put them on a web page.

Joel, at First Call Communications  provided the "wet stamp" drawings that 
my county planner required  --  a building permit was issued upon delivery 
of the documents. Tri-Ex shipped the base before the tower. While they 
missed the original ship date,  we did get it in time to not impact (too 
much) the overall project.

I used the general contractor who is building my home to do the work.  The 
entire installation:  base, electrical, underground conduits, etc is 
included in the home deal.  I'm providing the project management for the 
ham specific activities,  the general contractor is providing the skilled 
craftsman.

This arrangement has worked well,  the sub-contractors have been great to 
work with. I met with each sub to review what we were doing, before they 
began their work. It made things a lot easier for them, and me.

Questions?  please e-mail ....

Thanks,

Gene  K5GS
